DALIAN, China, Nov。 1 (Xinhua) —— Henan Jianye qualified for the 2020 Chinese Super League‘s playoffs, eliminating Guangzhou R&F with a 3-2 victory in their second leg match on Friday。

Losing 2-1 in the first-leg, Guangzhou kept their hopes alive as Ye Chugui volleyed in a deflection off a Henan’s defender to make it 1-0 in the 12th minute。

Cameroon striker Christian Bassogog pulled one back for the Henan side from the penalty spot before the break after Yi Teng fouled Fernando Karanga。

R&F were down to 10 after Yi Teng‘s 63rd-minute dismissal for two bookings, but Dusko Tosic’s header from a corner made it 2-1。
